MISS MAUD LOGAN'S ADDRESS
At Presentation ol Pres. Davis*
Portrait to Klngstree School.
Honored Commandant of Camp
Pressley, Teachers and Students of
Kingstree High School:?
With a sincere appreciation of the
Datriotic dutv which has been as
signed me as historian of the Williamsburg
chapter, I present to you,
in behalf of that organization, this
portrait,which portrays the features
of a man whom history recognizes as
one of the greatest of American
statesmen and patriots. As you look
upon and become thoroughly familiar
with that face (which is so indicative
of the strength and force that
characterized his life), may it prove
a wonderful inspiration to you. As
loyal Daughters of the Confederacy,
we consider it an honored privilege
to assist in teaching you the principles
of patriotism and devotion to
the memory of these Southern heroes.
Though many years have passed
since that famous struggle, (which
is recorded as one of the greatest
the world has ever witnessed;, yet
the influence of this noble hero lives
jwith us even to this hour; yes. "Like
an oak of healthiest bough. deep
rooted in his country's love he
stands." The life of Jefferson Davis
has been compared to a book wherein
the Southern student will find those
true aspirations, patriotic ambitions
and lofty purposes which are so satisfying
to the ardent - impulses of
youthful impressions. Our hearts
throb with pride, triumph and admiration
as we recall the courage
and usefulness of that life, which
was indeed a sacrifice for our beloved
Confederacy; but we cannot refrain
from reference to that little
tinge of pathos which possesses our
regretful natures when we consider
the humiliating trials and persecutions
he was called upon to endure.
His noble soul, though,was too great
to be thwarted by disappointment
and hardship, but like all trustful
souls,he found conso]ation,for"when
his hopes darkened to despair, at
some of life's unfruitful designs, for
hope and consolation he just looked
upward and found it where Love's
star above this great world sparkles."
As Mr Davis descended from
Christian ancestry, it is natural to
realize what a great heritage his
Christian training,which he received
in youth, must have been to him during
his sorrows and humiliation. I
would, brave boys and fair girls of
the fair Southland, thai I could present
to you all of the excellence,
courage and purity to which his
life was so susceptible. By association
with the history of those characters
whose high ideals of citizenship
have ever distinguished the loyal
Southerner you will reap untold
benefit. The poet Longfellow in his
immortal "Psalm of Life" has left
for the encouragement of youth
these inspiring words:
"Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time."
Students of the high school, and
little children of the lower grades,
(for I trust that you also catch the
meaning of these beautiful Memorial
days) the Daughters of the Confederacy
want to impress upon you
the motive which prompts the presentation
of this picture, and I hope
that you realize the full meaning of
this donation and the spirit in which
it is given. I feel that the duty with
which I am charged would not be
complete without a word of greeting
and commendation to these honored
and gallant veterans who are
with us today. We, the United
Daughters of the Confederacy and
the teachers of the Kingstree school,
have taught these young people to
love and preserve the history of your
brave deeds of valor. Their minds
and hearts have been thrilled by the
recital of Williamsburg's share in
the trials of that famous conflict.
They will ever honor the memory of
* j "l A. T A.
your oravery ana aevouon to your
country. "Brass may corrode; marble
may crumble"; many things may
fade away, but the memory of your
honorable war records and the great
life of Jefferson Davis will live forever.
And now cu? I turn this gift over
to your keeping we hope that you
will guard it with that reverence and
care which is befitting to the portrait
of a Confederate hero and place
it in a conspicuous apartment of
your school, that it may serve as a
constant reminder of Southern glory
and honor.
Avoid Spring Colds.
Sudden changes, high winds, shifting
seasons cause colds and grippe,
and these spring colds are annoying
and dangerous and ar,e likely to
turn into a chronic summer cough.
In such cases take a treatment of
Dr King's New Discovery, a pleasant
laxative tar syrup. It soothes
the cough, checks the cold and helps
an attack of grippe. It's
